Yes, absolutely. Many people still play it on Windows 7 and 8.

Hi Graham

I think Shadow Improvements has taken over from sobers DOF.

Still some niggles with SH5 especially the tonnage bar not filling up which seems to be happening to some of which is unexplainable as to why this happens to some and not others.

I really like SH4 as an alternative to SH5 and play it regularly with the American set up..

I just received my SH3 dvd today from an Ebay seller.

Very underated game and has almost a cult following.

When you get into it with GWX and SH Commander the 2 manuals alone are awesome and then you add some YouTube videos and you can see why.

SH3-4-5 I do not know how I am going to fit it all in.

@pinner2010

SH3 certainly works on W7 (the OS I have) and having read your deleted post, SH3 can be obtained from Amazon UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Hunte...ilent+hunter+3

If you click on the Quick Links near the top right of this page then select Amazon and once their click on the Amazon UK link SubSim will receive a small commission at no extra cost to yourself.

How Do I Know Which Silent Hunter III to Buy?

This information refers only to English language discs.

You can still buy new dvd’s for SHIII made by Encore.

These come in two versions.

Silent Hunter II + Silent Hunter III (2 discs)

Silent Hunter III

The Encore version is Canadian but can be easily purchased from the USA or through Subsim.

Although these are new the main problem with the Encore version is that it will only install in the default program (x86) folder in the main drive C:

Second hand discs can be purchased from places like Ebay and also from Amazon through their third parties.

It is important when purchasing these discs that you get a Starforce Free Version.

The dvd you are looking for will be showing ESS632.

The Starforce Free Version will be Black at the Bottom and White at the Top.

A typical File Version showing in Properties is 8.2.160.0

Product Version 1.4.0000

Date modified 18/08/2006

Do not be misled by the silver band at the top of the Dvd case that says Games in white letters which is irrelevant.

The Starforce Version will be Black at the Bottom and Silver at the Top.

These have a Product Version showing in Properties of 1.00.0000

This version does not have the latest patch and has copy write protection.

Just ask the seller if the disc is White at the Top and if yes, you will be ok.

Oh, and yes, it is Windows 7 friendly.

Many thanks for your kind comments and advice. just to let you know, I have used the Subsim link and ordered the following items from Amazon:
1. Silent Hunter 111 (new) £14:99
2. IL2 Sturmovik-The Ultimate Edition (New) £6:49

Hope I can get them to load OK on Windows 7 ultimate x64, or I may be knocking on your door, for advice.

Best regards.
Graham
